Senator Schumer: “The American People Really Don’t Care”

The American Issues Project is calling attention to something that the Democratic Senator from New York, Chuck Schumer, had to say this morning on the floor of the Senate. In speaking about the now Senate passed “stimulus package”, Schumer said, ““And let me say this to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little, tiny, yes, porky amendments: the American people really don’t care.”

This just goes to show one of two things: either Senators like Schumer are incredibly out-of-touch with the American people, or they are so absorbed with their self-serving tacitcs that they don’t care about their job as representatives of the voters.
